Happy birthday Keith, born on 18 December 1943.

See how many you can score out of 20 in this Keith Richards quiz:

Did you hear his recent CD? Not too bad. Kind of Knofler-esc to me (if I spelled that correctly).

Not yet, but I will!! I've always liked his solo stuff, right back to "Shouldn't take it so hard" and the X-pensive winos; there's always an honesty about his music that strikes a chord with me, eh?!

Well, sadly I scored a 60 on the test. While growing thru my teen years my school mates and I (sounds kinda british huh?) were always signing Keith Richards name one the roll sheet when we had a sub teacher. When I worked for Baird Ward Printing we did a magazine With a feature story with a full page black and white photo of him asking about his new band, around 88' I think and it was a pretty good read. They talked with him about his being sober, his wife and daughters, the new album and the new band. It was done back stage just before the first live show with the band. He was very up beat about his out look on the whole thing.
